The true “prosperity gospel” is “. . . all about the great blessing of giving and living self-sacrificially and how freeing it is to be trusting God day to day for life and all of its necessities.”
Ben Witherington III in Jesus and Money: A Guide for Times of Financial Crisis (Grand Rapids: Brazos Press, 2010) 77. This quote is another winner from Dave Rowland’s research paper.
I am pheasant hunting this weekend with my son, Sammy. We are having a great time together. Many might look at him as college student who is “prospering” because he is learning to be “independent”, and what I see is a young man who is doing well because he is learning that life is all about serving other sacrificially and being “dependent” on God for everything.
